Tasks that should be performed by a registered nurse include initial and ongoing assessments, determining nursing diagnoses, plan of care, evaluation of client progress, evaluation of the nursing care delivered to the patient, supervision and education of nursing personnel, and client education. Tasks such as ambulation, assistance with meals and hygiene, and obtaining vital signs are acceptable tasks for a UAP to perform.
